Wishing for Open For Business in TS3

Just a little rant.

When I bought OFB for Sims 2 years ago, I wasn’t prepared at the time for how much new gameplay it would ultimately add to my game. Frankly, it completely changed how I built towns.

Using Sim City 4, I easily made my own worlds. With OFB, I was able to have almost all my residents own a shop, providing the town with:

 a florist

 butcher

restaurants

bakery

clothing store

dance clubs

furniture store

grocery store

farmer’s market

art gallery

toy factory

even an architecture firm!!

So basically, I was able to control almost the entire game, from the world to the Sims and commercial lots! It was an incredibly rewarding feel to know your town is self-contained and everyone has an actual purpose!

For Sims 3, I’ve had Midnight Hollow for a few years now too, and while I’m happy to be able to have shops using objects from Build/Buy Modes...I really wish I could have my Sims sell their harvestables, gems, or even the loot they find in World Adventure!! It’d be such a fun game for me to make an adventurer who saves money to travel the world and sell their wares they buy overseas!!! Yes, I know I can *technically* do some of this by using Buydebug and having more stuff to sell, but it really isn’t the same dynamic and as well-developed as Open for Business. I would love to have a TS3 EP that was extremely similar to OFB....and for Sims 1 as well!!!
